Homecoming

from Seeing Things by Hannah McPhillimy

lyrics

Intro:

C C/D F C/E C/G C x2 (repeats)


Verse 1
If perfect love casts out fear, then I'm safe with you.

But my unsafe love will cost you dear, take a longer view.
You'll lose heart, you'll lose out, you'll lose coming home to a chair and fire.

Hoping against hope will take life from your years, you'll leave cold and tired.

Verse 2
But I heard you say it was worth the risk moving out of the way.

Though she chose the dark and she chose the mist,

G C
she might choose home some day,
G C
might choose home someday.

CHORUS
F Am

Might choose home someday
Em F
Might choose home someday
F Am Em G (repeats)
Might choose home someday, someday



Though you took the risk and I chose the mist,

I might choose home some day, some day.

Verse 3
Like a whale out of water, a skylark kept inside;

I have no reason not to die.
Thought freedom could be sought, free to take what was my lot-

I've only got, what I've been given.

Verse 4:
I hear your voice going round and around in my head,

like I'm in a cavernous cave.
"Come out from there you, I know you want to.

Come taste the wind, taste the waves.

Come taste the wind, taste the waves'

CHORUS
CHORUS

Might choose home someday x4

Though you took the risk and I chose the mist,

I might choose home some day, some day.

If perfect love casts out fear then I'm safe with you.

But my unsafe love has cost me dear.

Will there be a welcome here?
